On-trend yellow at Bikini Berlin

Yellow hasn’t exactly been one of the most popular or sought-after colours in the past, but it’s currently developing into this season’s fashion trend statement! From dazzling to mustard-coloured, from the catwalk to the street styles of the fashionistas, we are seeing yellow tones in all shades and styles. Up until recently I personally didn’t have a single yellow item hanging in my wardrobe. But since I discovered Nisi’s Lisbon photos of her in an adorable yellow summer skirt, I can’t get this sunshine colour out of my head! So to provide you with some inspiration and summer vibes to take you into autumn, I took a look around Bikini Berlin for you and picked out my favourite accessories and items of clothing in the on-trend hue of 2016:

Let’s begin with an off-the-shoulder top from the multi-brand store AK – Anna Kraft and a mustard-coloured jumper from CLOSED. Both garments prove that you don’t have to walk around like a canary if you want to add a vibrant accent to your outfit and exude an air of cheerful positivity.

My personal highlight: the wool-blend cardigan in lemon by American Vintage. It caught my eye as soon as I entered the store, but I wasn’t totally convinced to begin with. After I took a few photos of some other items, the store manager approached me and persuaded me to try on the cardigan too. It’s so soft, long and cosy that I didn’t want to take it off!

And I also found some cool sunshine-coloured must-haves for the men amongst you! As well as yellow accessories like wallets and its classic hats, Carhartt is also offering jumpers and tops in the trend tone. Vans is concentrating more on the understated variation: mustard-coloured, almost beige sneakers made of suede.

But if you can’t really see yourself making such a bold fashion statement, I’ve also found a few happy yellow accessories to brighten up your day:
